Saint Patrick's School

One Stop Shop
We have already travelled some way down the Inquiry pathway and have reached a stage where we have begun to develop an Inquiry model tailored to suit our school. Our staff is changing at the same time. We need a place to put all the information and resources that relate to the work we have done to make Inquiry user-friendly for our teachers. This Wikispace then is going to be our "One Stop Shop" where teachers at any level of the school can find information that they need. Inquiry
Our school's Inquiry consists of three strands:
Inquiry as a process
ICT skills for teachers and children
Thinking skills and the use of Graphic Organisers
This link comes from the "Concepts to Classroom" website and provides a good introduction to what Inquiry is all about.
